"An industrial capitalist society that does not recognize ecological limits but only perpetual economic expansion and has the profit motive as driver, will eventually consume and destroy itself."
"But we will all be taken down with it."

Later at the show, Owen told a great joke from when he was in Norway. Someone offered him whale, and as he was eating it, he asked what kind of whale it was. The man said, "You have to understand, it's very painless, they just harpoon the whale and that's that." Owen said, "Yeah, but what kind is it?" The man said, "You have to understand, there's a tradition."
Get it? There's a tradition! This is my new favorite joke.
